Comparing industries across countries — sound familiar?

01Stitching UNIDO, OECD STAN, and Comtrade together by hand?
02Comparing one industry across countries is a chore?
03Value-added chains and trade flows scattered across files?
04No single view of competitiveness across economies?

UNIDO, OECD STAN, and UN Comtrade — connected in one workbench.

01 · INDUSTRY DOMAINS

Eight industry domains, one lab.

Manufacturing, semiconductors, automotive, energy, and more.

Every economy is organized into the same set of industry domains, so you can move between manufacturing, semiconductors, trade, and other industries without switching tools. Each domain draws on UNIDO, OECD STAN, and UN Comtrade series.

02 · COUNTRY PROFILE

Read the industrial profile first.

A quick summary, then the details.

Open any country to get a one-line industrial profile — structure, productivity, trade, and competitiveness summarized at the top, with sector detail below. Numbers draw on UNIDO and OECD STAN value-added series.

03 · VALUE-ADDED CHAINS

See what each economy makes.

Sector mix, concentration, and supply-chain linkages.

Break manufacturing value-added into its sub-sector mix, track concentration with an HHI time series, and trace value-added linkages along the supply chain. Built on UNIDO value-added and OECD STAN structural series.

04 · BILATERAL TRADE

Trace bilateral trade flows.

Export sophistication and partner concentration.

Plot industry share against hi-tech export share to classify economies, then trace bilateral trade flows and partner concentration across the export portfolio — drawn from UN Comtrade.

05 · COMPETITIVENESS

Measure industrial competitiveness.

Unit labor cost, export HHI, and employment.

Rank peers and profile them on five axes — manufacturing share, unit labor cost, hi-tech exports, R&D intensity, and export concentration (HHI). Combine employment and value-added to read each economy’s competitive position.
